This national historic landmark, although originally constructed in 1760, has been restored to its 1840s appearance. During that era, working from this fort, Governor General Peter Von Scholten emancipated slaves in the Danish West Indies. The courtyard, stables, and a soldier's canteen have all been restored, and today, the grounds resemble a park. The red-painted fort is also home to a museum and an art gallery.
